00:00welcome back to test for english we go live to russia once again as world leaders continue to
00:08arrive in moscow ahead of may 9th celebrations of victory day in this case we are witnessing
00:15the arrival of chinese president xi jinping he is arriving at the russian capital as have
00:23other leaders worldwide xi jinping's visit to russia in this occasion is one of the highlights
00:31of this week as the bilateral between the chinese president and russian president
00:39may be among the key encounters regarding these days prior to victory day celebrations let's recall
00:49that these world leaders are arriving in russia to take part in the 80th anniversary of the victory
00:56of union soviet union forces against fascism in 1945
01:05so we are looking at images of the plane that brings chinese president xi jinping
01:14to russia ahead of victory day celebrations china russia relations are among key strategic
01:27relations in this global world context in their proposal of a multi-polar world that pretends to
01:39overcome the unilateral world order unipolar world order pretended by u.s imperialism and these
01:52cooperation between the asian and aurasian nations has been key in this regard and
02:00is set to mark the years to come in this context we see the arrival and that gives the relevance
02:12of the presence of chinese president xi jinping at this event let's recall that in russia victory day
02:23and in this case the 80th anniversary of victory day that is the victory of soviet union against
02:29fascism is among the most important holidays of the country it's the day in which the nation remembers and celebrates
02:43their key participation at the world stage in maybe the most significant
02:51battle that had to do that marked the 20th century and in particular the role that soviet union played at that time a role that western narrative over the second world war that is also sustained by western leaders today for example donald trump have tried once time and time again to
03:20eradicate from their history books to eradicate from their history books the participation and the decisive actions of the soviet army in their victory against fascism so the commemoration of this event is key
03:42for a country such as russia and the worldwide recognition of the event with the presence of
03:52key global leaders as chinese president xi jinping that we see is arriving at this moment
03:59the moment to russia speaks of the world relevance today of that commemoration 80 years have passed since 1945
04:14and in this context and in this context in which much of the international alliance
04:23a lot of organizations and also strategic bonds between countries are talking of a new
04:31international fight against fascism specifically from the global south
04:37among among and in the framework of a global context among and in the framework of a global context that is
04:45directly attacking the principles of multipolarity and directly attacking
04:52through different ways both countries in the global south
04:56and also other key factors in the world scene that pretend
05:09to impose that pretend to overcome the unilateral and unipolar
05:18the unilateral power that for example united states imperialism pretends to be
05:28we have seen for example in the latest announcements made by us president donald trump regarding the
05:37trade war that he has unleashed on the world
05:42how china has been one of their main targets however we have also seen how in the past days
05:53u.s diplomats have had to come back on some of their initial positions and are talking about holding negotiations
06:02as their chinese counterparts continue to make it clear that they will negotiate on their own term
06:14at the and they are the ones defending international trade order they are the ones defending
06:24the rules of international law
06:27international law so in this context we need to understand the relevance of the events that are
06:34taking place in russia with in this case we see the airplane that is bringing
06:43xi jinping president of china to take part in the 80th anniversary of victory day
06:50celebrations that will take place on may 9th and we've also seen other leaders from around the world
07:01heads of state for example
07:05cuban president nicole diaz canal who also held a bilateral meeting with russian president vladimir putin
07:12also venezuelan president vladimir putin and also signed a series of cooperation agreements
07:32a key moment for relations between venezuela and russia to be stepping up
07:38and strengthening their ties at this global context so we see that the arrival of these key leaders to
07:49this celebration is not only a matter of commemorating a historical event a historical event that marked
08:00the turn of the 20th century and also continues to shape the world as it is today but also
08:09a moment of strengthening ties among different countries and nations in the world whose leaders
08:20continue to speak in favor of multi-polarity continue to speak in favor of south-south cooperation
08:30continue to foster relations that are based on mutual respect but that are allowing those nations to
08:41develop strategic areas of their national economies in a model
08:51that foster cooperation rather than competition so we have strategic agreements on terms regarding
09:01energy development in terms of infrastructure development in terms of technology the sharing of
09:08information
09:11regarding key areas of
09:14progress that experts say will mark the years to come as is for example artificial intelligence
09:22also everything concerning climate change and the way it is affecting primarily
09:28the countries in the global south even though it's the nations in the north that have caused the biggest
09:35environmental impacts all of these topics are brought to the table at a moment in which world leaders
09:45leaders that are speaking in favor of multi-polarity are meeting in russia this week in this
09:58framework that has to do with the celebration of the 80th anniversary of victory day
10:05we reiterate that we're looking at images of the arrival of chinese president xi xi ping
10:14to moscow two days ahead of may 9th celebration of the 80th anniversary of
10:22the win that the soviet army had in front of nazism in front of fascism in the year 1945
10:37those are the images we are we were speaking to the relevance of this visit in particular that brings chinese leader
10:49to the russian federation
10:54will possibly expect in the coming hours
10:59different topics and possible agreements to be brought up
11:03let's recall that these leaders are among the most important in the world and the most sensitive topics to understand
11:17some of the most sensitive issues affecting the world today
11:23are being discussed by the leaders of russia china key countries in latin america key countries in africa
11:38we've seen delegations from the republic of the congo also delegations from burkina faso
11:45with a very significant and popular based process being carried out in the african country
11:53and also deepening ties with the russian federation in that process against colonialism
12:01against european colonialism
12:07another point to highlight in this context is that if europe and the united states
12:16meant to isolate russia over the past years
12:22with a series of unilateral measures or sanctions that meant to cut ties or hinder ties between russia and
12:32the rest of the world what we are seeing today is a demonstration
12:40that russia is definitely not isolated and right now very much the center of what is happening
12:47in terms of the possibility of building a multi-polar world
12:53or a pluripolar world
12:58we are saying this as we are looking at the images of the plane
13:04the stairs have been laid and will probably just in a few moments
13:09have images of chinese president xi jinping walking down those stairs and being greeted
13:18at this moscow airport as other
13:23significant world leaders have also
13:25been greeted at this place we've seen the arrival of the president of serbia alexander bucic
13:38just hours ago also delegation from the republic of the congo
13:46also representatives from latin america
13:48such as venezuelan president nicolás maduro and cuban president miguel diaz canel we've also seen
13:57significant world leaders
14:01not head of state at the moment but former presidents such as dilma rousseff
14:06former president of brazil and currently head of the brics development bank another key institution
14:19of this
14:21part of the world and we're talking about the bricks and with the arrival of chinese president xi jinping
14:28we have two of its main leaders
14:34here in russian soil at the moment russia and china being among the main actors in this
14:43block that has since it its existence tried to foster
14:52a multipolar exchange the possibility of a world that respects
14:57global trade that respects
15:01sovereignty of each nation and that
15:05looks the possibility of developing
15:10without hindering
15:14the development of different nations particularly in the global south
15:21brazilian president lula da silva another key actor
15:27in this block is also expected
15:31to arrive in russia this week ahead of victory day celebrations
15:37so definitely there will be conversations
15:45regarding the key challenges and positions that the brics group
15:54needs to deal with and also take in the face of new challenges and by new challenges for example measures that
16:02have been taken by new u.s. president donald trump regarding the trade war that has targeted countries all over the world
16:13and pretends to hinder international trade affecting of course
16:25the commerce and the the development possibilities of nations
16:29nations from across the continent the brics group has maintained a position
16:38of demanding respect to international law in terms of commerce
16:45and these will be possibly topics to continue following
16:52we see now that the doors have opened for the plane that's arriving from china
17:01let's recall that we are awaiting for chinese president xi jinping to officially
17:11mark mark his arrival to russian soil
17:19and there we see that he is waving from the plane
17:24the plane one of the key leaders
17:30at this moment in the world stage chinese president xi jinping
17:35arriving in moscow
17:37in moscow ahead of victory day the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the soviet union
17:46against fascism get against nazism
17:52maybe one of the
17:54most relevant leaders
17:57at stage at this moment
17:59as we were saying dealing for example
18:06with the trade war that the u.s. has
18:10pretended to begin with new president donald trump who has had
18:17very aggressive and severe statements then backing down on some statements
18:23but initiating or pretending to initiate a trade war why
18:30well chinese diplomats maintain that they are willing to negotiate under
18:39circumstances
18:42in which their sovereignty are is respected
18:47they continue to demand respect for international law and for trade law
18:53and in that context very sensitive context we see the arrival of
19:01chinese president xi jinping to russian soil let's listen to the music
19:17iterate we are looking at images
